What Happened
Drishyam 3: The Conclusion, the Hindi crime thriller starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu, has crossed Rs 300 crore in net collections in India within ten days of release, according to box office tracker Sacnilk. The tracker estimated that the film earned about Rs 23 crore net on its tenth day, Sunday, 11 October 2026, taking its India net total to about Rs 309.5 crore. Sacnilk also put the film's overseas gross at about Rs 109 crore so far. Separate early estimates published on Sunday put the worldwide total well above Rs 400 crore. All figures are trade estimates and may be revised when final numbers are released.
Key Facts
- Film: Drishyam 3: The Conclusion (Hindi), starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu.
- Day 10, Sunday, 11 October 2026: about Rs 23 crore net, down about 13 per cent from Rs 26.5 crore on Saturday, according to Sacnilk.
- India net total after ten days: about Rs 309.5 crore, according to Sacnilk.
- Overseas gross: about Rs 109 crore so far, according to Sacnilk.
- Early Sunday estimates elsewhere were lower for the day, at about Rs 18.3 crore net from 10,978 shows, suggesting the final day figure could still change.
- Worldwide gross: reported to be above Rs 400 crore, with one estimate close to Rs 446 crore.
- On its first Sunday, 4 October, the film collected about Rs 61 crore net, Sacnilk said.
Why It Matters
Crossing Rs 300 crore net in India places Drishyam 3 in the top tier of this year's Hindi releases. The milestone matters because it came in only the second weekend. A film that holds up well in its second week usually has strong word of mouth, which suggests audiences are recommending it rather than simply turning up for the opening.
The second-weekend numbers show that pattern. The film's tenth-day estimate of about Rs 23 crore is well below its first-Sunday figure of about Rs 61 crore, as expected for any film, but it is still a large number for a second Sunday. A drop of around 13 per cent from Saturday to Sunday is also unusual, because Sundays are normally the strongest day of a weekend. That may reflect differences in early and final reporting, and it is one reason the figures should be treated as estimates for now.
The Hindi film is billed as the conclusion of the Drishyam story, as its title says. It should not be confused with the Malayalam Drishyam 3, a separate film released in May 2026.
For the film trade, a hit of this size brings crowds back to cinemas during the festive season. Strong footfalls help single screens and multiplex chains alike, and they shape how producers schedule other big releases around Diwali.
| Measure | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Day 10 net, 11 October | About Rs 23 crore |
| India net, 10 days | About Rs 309.5 crore |
| Overseas gross | About Rs 109 crore |
| Worldwide gross | Above Rs 400 crore |
Impact
Short-term: The film is likely to keep a large share of screens through the coming week, which may squeeze space for smaller releases.
Long-term: Its success strengthens the case for big-screen thrillers and franchise films in Hindi cinema, and will influence how studios plan sequels and remakes.
Who is affected: The film's producers and distributors, cinema chains and single-screen owners, rival releases competing for screens, and audiences.
Key Takeaway
Drishyam 3: The Conclusion has crossed about Rs 300 crore net in India in ten days, according to trade estimates, a mark few Hindi films reach.
